DR.. Viaud Grand Marias, in a curious
pamphlet on the Egyptian queen, dis
cusses at some length her experiments on
slaves, prisoners, and persons condemned
to death. Quoting from Plutarch, he
shows how she acquired the gertrude
that the bite of the asp effected a calm
and painless death. But here the worthy
Doctors reasoning begins. How, he
asks, did the asp escape, and how did
the two attendants of the queen die?
Nobody saw the serpent afterward, and
we have the spectacle of a closed room,
of two women inanimate, and of one
languidly raising her head to answer
with dying feebleness the messengers of
Caesar. All this, according to the doc
tor, shows that charcoal poisoning had
been resorted to; for Cleopatra, who
was a clever woman, had studied every
possible mean of bringing about death.
M. Maspero, the well known Egyptolo-
gist, to whom the recent researches of
which Baron Larrey made fun have
been communicated, doubts the exist
ence of the great Nile queen, as there are
no monuments or hieroglyphs relating to
her.-London Telegraph.

here, built IN the earlier part of the last
century; while the famous Coddington
house, on Spring street, formerly the
government house and mansion of Gov.
Coddington, has stood 249 years as you
will see 1t to day. One can almost close
his eyes and see the ancient folk as they
were once here, so much that was theirs
remains. Nor does it need an o'er-quick
fancy to revive the scenes in which they
moved. The flavor, the incident, the
very sight and sound of it all comes
easily enough as one wanders here. The
stately ways of the ~colOnists, the rugged
earnestness of the British foe, the daring
and sacrifice of the revolutionists, the
lordly swagger of the rich old sea cap
tains, the pleasance and grace of the
French when De Segur, De Lauzun. Des

Barras and Noailles, the Marquis de st.
Simon, the unfortunate Chevalier De
Terney, and Rochambeau with his dainty,

pretty Polly Leiton, and the sound of
dancing at Mrs. Cowley's famous assem-
bley rooms-all irresistablv live with the
old, old trees and uhoroughfsres and
mansions, as if waiting here by the sea
in this olden sun and air for the coming
of one whose genius shall move them
all before a later age as if in stately
minuet and song.
NANTASKET BEACH
is the easterly circling shore of a long,
narrow island southeast of Boston. 1t is
from two to three miles long, and | have
seen 1000 bathers alta time cavorting in
the chOppy surf. A twelve mile sail IN a
comfortable steamer brings you to it and
the endless crush of a crowd of all sorts
takes you away. 1t is the exact anti
thesis of beauteous and stately Newport,
with one exception. Its season" lasts
Just as long; but for the far different rea-
sons. 1t is to Boston precisely what
Coney Island is to New York. The
beach is better; the wickedness possibly a
shade less enhancing. 1t has its aristo
cratic end, where the real Boston swells
occupy splendid villas upon the t~reeless
rocks and ~promontorles, near yet far re
moved from the catch penny animation of
this beach, which, so far as | know, is the
longest ocean shore accessible for bathing
in this country. Sometime each week
nearly every Bostonian visits it. There
the nabob and the shop girl, while going.
while there and while returning, are, for
the once, on equal footing; and it does
them all good. Nantasket Beach is the
only place in all New England-and it is
worth visiting on account of that curious
fact alone-where pedigree pales, prestige
palsies and precedent passes away. In
that sense Nantasket may possess true
missionary ministration for Boston
